1. Assess the water and safe access

2. Remove pooled liquid

   The bathroom and adjacent room may need separate extraction passes. The crew tracks where moisture traveled.

3. Map wet construction

   The crew checks underlayment after visible water is gone. Trapped moisture determines the drying plan.
